I worked closely with the CEO of Cobo Vault in gathering the research materials and technical information that enabled me to compose this article. In the process of analyzing the research material, I came up with novel analysis that I was able to contribute to the subject area. The original idea I put forth in the “A New Conception of Threat” section that the dusting attack may negate the perceived privacy benefits of air-gapped computers and phones gives this article an edge for which Google recognized it as an authority on the subject. The article ranked first on Google for “dusting attack”, and was also published by blogging platform Hackernoon. It had over 2,500 views and received 147 claps on Medium before it was migrated.
